Individual Psychotherapy · Telehealth
We are conditioned to dismiss and deny our true feelings — our true selves. Perhaps you feel limited, blocked, or disillusioned by the cards you were dealt. Are you silently suffering while masking your pain from family and friends? Whatever your experience, you don't have to navigate this crazy and wondrous world alone.
Services
Every person carries a unique story. Whether you are navigating the weight of daily anxiety, the ache of loss, an identity in flux, or simply the quiet feeling that something needs to change — this is a space where that story matters.
"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are."
Joseph Campbell
Understanding anxiety means more than managing it. The work goes beneath the surface — exploring what drives it, what it is trying to say, and how to meet it differently.
Compassionate, collaborative support for depression — exploring what lies beneath, building coping strategies, and rediscovering meaning and energy.
Grief takes many forms — a person, a relationship, a chapter of life. Support to process what has been lost and find a path through.
Career shifts, relocation, identity changes, new chapters — major transitions deserve dedicated support to stay grounded and move forward.
Exploring who you are, your values, and your relationship with yourself. Work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and a more authentic life.
Trauma-informed care that helps you process difficult experiences and reclaim safety, agency, and wholeness at your own pace.
Philosophy
"If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation."
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Healing rarely follows a straight line. At Astraea Therapy, we meet you where you are — without judgment — and work together toward the changes that matter most to you. Growth, self-discovery, and healing are always possible.
Integrative & Holistic
A whole-person approach that draws from many traditions — including somatic awareness and contemplative practice — and shapes itself around you rather than a fixed method. The work moves at your pace, toward what matters most to you.
Psychodynamic & Depth-Informed
Drawing from Gestalt, Depth Psychology, Brief Psychodynamic Therapy, and Hypnotherapy to explore the unconscious patterns, early experiences, and deeper forces that shape who you are today.
Humanistic & Existential
Honoring your inherent capacity for growth, choice, and self-determination — the belief that you are not broken, and that the answers you are looking for are closer than they seem.
Transpersonal & Spiritual
Honoring the full spectrum of human experience — meaning, purpose, awakening, and the dimensions of life that reach beyond the personal. Drawing from transpersonal, contemplative, and mystical traditions across cultures, the work holds space for the sacred, the subtle, and the unseen.

"It doesn't matter if a cave has been in darkness for 10,000 years or half an hour —
once you light a match, it is illuminated."
About the Name
Astraea — star-maiden, goddess of innocence and justice. Keeper of the scales of Libra. In the oldest traditions she is also the one who prepares what must be weighed — the guardian between what is hidden and what is revealed. In Greek myth, she was the last immortal to walk among us before rising to become the stars. Her symbol is the rising sun: what was concealed, brought to light. What was buried, lifted. The name was chosen for what it carries — rise, balance, strength, purity, and the fierce belief that within every person, something luminous remains. Therapy here is not just recovery. It is a return to what was never truly lost.
